Heads up..... :hyper:

Perfect opportunity to get a breeding pair, this group of five Parachanna obscura are around 15cm and I have had them a year so no worries about being new imports and dying. http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/...ypic=120645.jpg
Ridiculous price of £15 each, £50 for all five. That is HALF what I paid for them 18 months ago!
Feel free to e-mail, text or call & I will get back to you.
Prefer to sell as a group so you can breed them.
collection only from Chatteris Cambs

Parachanna africana http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/...ypic=119860.jpg
This is the rare one of the African snakeheads.
Just £25 for this pair, you will not find them anywhere for that price...

you will have to collect from PE16, Chatteris in Cambs. <again no posting>>>


also Channa pleuropthalma - group of five around 30cm.....

this group will provide a perfect opportunity for abreeding pair of probably the most attractive of all the snakeheads. Smallest is around 20cm, rest are 30cm or so.
You really do need to know what you are doing with these fish, they are not for the beginner.
Don't worry, it won't be remotely close to the £150 each you'd pay in a shop IF you could find them like this.

again from the same man..........

As he say's...when these fish are juvi there is usually a 95% death rate ammunst juvi's, i have been lucky with my one, i know of a keeper in canada who had a group of 24, yesterday he contacted me,he has one left, so if you see these on the market you should snap them up ;)
 
I have young Channa for sale -

Ornatipinnis
Pulchra
Gachua Krabi (th02)

Few Asiatica adults

I am willing to post as and when I have time (work).


These are what i can lay my hand's on via breeder's.....just got mail back...contact if anything intrests you :good:
 
hey mate!

I hate to put you through all this hassle :(

but i wont be able to keep any snakeheads until a good month (when my summer holidays begin) thats when i will be on the hunt for a pair of channa orientalis!

My tank is 20gallon, so i think a pair is all i can keep?

I am so so so so so sorry mate, i really am =[
 
get 4-6 youngsters and watch them mature to a pair

the other one is still quite shy stays at the back of the tank,im sure shes ok and will venture out eventually :)
 
need some advice plz :D

do meal worms ( dried) need to be soaked before being fed so that they sink
and is the flow from a fluval 204 ok for them, its midway between under and out of the water so its making splashes etc
do they eat from the surface or from the floor, or both ( i have seen one eat as the food was falling)

I don't think the flow will be a problem

Mine usually feed near the top of the tank but will take food from the bottom as well

Don't know about the mealworms

I think generally they like don't like too much flow, so submerged should be fine,

For my Reed fish and Bichir etc i just throw in dried mealworms, and they take them from the surface,
Also, From what i've seen channa are surface feeders anyway ???
 
yes just throw them in they take them from the surface, you will see them stalk before they attack, funny to watch, flow i aim mine to the floor to create a nice flow through the tank and leaving the top still like a mill pond :good: ....
however chopped prawns will obviously be taken from either midway down or from the floor
